Noob question probably

hi im trying to make a simple all flash web page but there is a problem with my buttons and switching between scenes,
unfortunately i dont have a web page so i cant just upload the fla, but heres my actionscript

on (release) {gotoAndStop(2);
}

nothing too difficult about that, its for a button, leading to a larger picture on scene 5!, ive tried to just do
on (release) {gotoAndStop(5);
}
but it doesnt work and goes to another scene, i dont get it, im using flash 04 pro and id love to figure out wat im doing right

hope i explained that well enough for u

thank you

Hmm… Do you have a keyframe in frame #5?
And if I were you, i would write the code:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop(5);
}

yeah i tried changing the AC to what you said but theres one thing i think i forgot to mention, i did EXACTLY the same AC for the enter page, and for the home page buttons and they owrk perfectly, i cant figure out what is going on

:h:

I see…

You’re trying to do a simple flash webpage? And you have the different pages, in lets say… “Home” in frame 1, and “About” in frame 5 etc etc.? And the buttons takes you to the different frames?

if you are using scenes to set up your movie the scene name has to be in quotes

gotoAndPlay(“SceneName”);

6

yeah, like i hav the AC, like what you posted, and it takes you to a different scene from the one you had written

btw i checked that i had the “gotoAndStop” part on scene not frame so thats not it

7

didn’t you say that the movie is set up with scenes and you want them to jump from scene to scene? i’m not understanding you correctly i think…

well i tried putting “5” and “Scene 5” instead of just 5, but that just made it not work at all,

Try this one out:

It tells you, how to do a simple, and fairly nice flash site. And if you allready know some flash basics, you can allways experiment! :}
